The aim of this Study is to map and analyse the measures in place at Member States level to fight the illegal employment of TCNs, possible problematic areas and obstacles in this field and strategies and good practices to overcome them.
The following Report presents a comparative overview of the main findings of
the 2016 EMN Study on Family Reunification of Third-Country Nationals (TCNs) in the EU plus Norway.

The return of illegally-staying third-country nationals is one of the main pillars of the EU’s policy on migration and asylum. However, recent Eurostat data show that return rates at EU level have not improved despite the important increase in the number of rejected asylum applications and in the number of return decisions issued since 2014. The EMN conducted this study with the purpose of investigating good practices and challenges in Member States’ application of EU rules on return and equivalent standards.
The Finnish National Contact Point of the European Migration Network (EMN) has compiled this statistical review from the statistics of the Finnish Immigration Service, Police and Finnish Border Guard as well as the International Organization for Migration (IOM). In addition, the EMN has produced the annual report on migration,
which covers all aspects of migration and asylum in Finland in 2017. The report offers advanced information on phenomena, which this statistical review discusses in the light of figures.
All publicly available Ad Hoc Queries can be found on the international website of the European Migration Network.
This study focusses on illegal employment of third-country nationals (TCNs) in Finland. The concept of illegal employment of third-country nationals covers both the employment of irregularly staying migrants, meaning a TCN who does not fulfil, or no longer fulfils, the conditions of entry, and the employment of legally staying migrants who do not have the right to work in Finland or are working outside the conditions of their permit.
